Property Description
This exquisite block and stucco Mediterranean style home was designed by Marsh and Saxelby and built in 1922. It sits on a special block with underground utilities surrounded by gorgeous homes. Current owners updates include all new tile roof, 2 new HVAC, significant electrical updates, natural gas full house generator, new glass and metal doors leading to the pool and much more. A notable feature is the great floorplan with the formal dining and living rooms off the foyer and a casual family room area in the back open to kitchen and overlooking the pool. Perfection. Up the beautiful staircase with iron railing are 3 large bedrooms and 3 baths. The primary has a fireplace, two walk-in closets and doors to a private terrace. The second bedroom has an extra bonus space and newer bathroom. The 2 car garage was built roughly 12 years ago. The backyard and pool area are beautiful as well with built-in Heston gas grill and custom asado grill + pizza oven and keg fridge. It is all you need to entertain family and friends. 1856 Challen is the Avondale dream home you have been waiting for.
